Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized form of dental cleaning that is essential for patients who have been treated for gum disease. Unlike regular cleanings, periodontal maintenance involves deep cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. This procedure helps prevent the progression of gum disease and is typically recommended every three to four months, depending on the severity of the condition. Regular periodontal maintenance is crucial for maintaining the health of your gums and preventing further bone loss.

What to Expect During Periodontal Maintenance:

• Thorough Cleaning: We carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial buildup from above and below the gum line.
• Gum Health Evaluation: We assess the condition of your gums, checking for signs of inflammation or infection.
• Monitoring of Bone Loss: X-rays may be taken periodically to monitor bone levels around the teeth and ensure that gum disease is not progressing.
• Personalized Care: We provide you with tailored advice on how to maintain your gum health at home, including brushing, flossing, and using medicated rinses if necessary.
